Dear Colleagues and young researchers,
The controlled growth of thin films based on metastable materials by chemistry-driven processes is of high technological importance for topics like semiconductor devices or optical coatings. Computational modelling of this inherently multiscale process is crucial for an atomistic understanding and enables a decoupling and separate optimization of the growth-determining factors of non-equilibrium materials. This workshop will result in a joint effort by experts from different modelling communities covering the necessary length and time scales.
The workshop will take place in a beautiful castle one train-hour north of Frankfurt in an environment fostering intense discussions.
The main idea of the workshop is to bring together experts which work on the simulation of growth phenomena at the different scales and which due to the different employed methodology hitherto meet usually in separate conference and workshop formats. The central theme will be to introduce the state-of-the-art and current challenges in the individual fields, and to discuss ideas of bridging between them. The workshop will be restricted to 40-50 participants for intense and informal discussions. Invited experts will cover the various key modelling areas, while a few eminent experimental colleagues present keynotes overviewing contemporary materials and processes, and defining the targets for the modelling. The speaker list currently comprises:
Kerstin Volz (U Marburg, Germany)
Simon Elliott (Tyndall National Institute, Ireland)
Alexey Timoshkin (U St. Petersburg, Russia)
Stacey Bent (Stanford University, USA)
Peter Kratzer (U Duisburg-Essen, Germany)
Francesco Montalenti (U Milano, Italy)
Matthias Scheffler (FHI Berlin, Germany)
Kristen Fichthorn (Penn State U, USA)
Chris Van de Walle (UC Santa Barbara, USA)
Talat Rahman (U Central Florida, USA)
Wolfram Miller (IKZ Berlin, Germany)
Ingo Steinbach (U Bochum, Germany)
Rochus Schmid (U Bochum, Germany)
Henrik Pedersen (U Linköping, Sweden)
Erwin Kessels (TU Eindhoven, Netherlands)
Young researchers will have the opportunity to present their own research projects during a poster session. Selected submissions will be upgraded to contributed talks.
